I am re-purposing some old Corinex powerline ethernet wall mounts. They came with a setup cd with a wizard application for setting up the hardware, but the application doesn't seem to work on 64bit windows 7 (not surprised really - the plugs are from 2004).

Anyone remember how to configure these things without the software tool? I have no idea what there current configuration on the hardware is.

I plugged them into separate wall sockets (the link status led indicated a link between them) and tried generating traffic and then looking at my arp table to see if i could see stuff, but nothing came up. My networking skills are limited at best.

I emailed Corinex, and after clarifying exactly which model I was talking about Corinex ignored all further emails from me.

So apparently according to Corinex's stellar support, the first generation Corinex powerline wall plugs are not worth supporting.

email exchange:

Hi,

Any eta on solving the problem?

The program complains that it cannot
locate the local adapter. I found an
old corinex support page that
mentioned improper install of WinPcap
could be the issue. I have tried on an
xp computer and windows 7. Still no
luck.

I have 4 of the original powerline
wall mounts (earlier than the AV200).
The setup tool does not seem to
function on Windows 7. Is there a
version of the setup tool for Windows
that would work on Windows 7 or
alternatively for Mac OS X(I have a
few Mac OSx based computers accessible
as well).
